One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

Quote of the Day “Turning your passion into your job is easier than finding a job that matches your passion.” – Seth Godin

Hello Wednesday! Yesterday was a bit of a disappointment for us. Lucy’s babies didn’t arrive which was of course a total bummer because the puggle princess and I spent the morning setting up the stock tank, putting the pine shavings in there, loading the tank up with food and water and of course the heat lamp, only to call the post office at 11 to find out no chicks were received at the post office that morning. Poor Lucy! She must have checked to see if there were chicks in the stock tank about 8 times yesterday… each time walking away disappointed. Boooo!

So, fingers crossed TODAY IS THE DAY!

Also, ever since moving here, my hair gets so tangled by mid day that I may have to start wearing my hair in a bun. I can’t figure out why it’s becoming such a tangled mess. Could it be the cold weather? I think I may be losing my mind.

Ahhh Wednesday… I am READY FOR YOU!

Have a great day everyone,

♥ Mavis

Quote of the Day “Always believe something wonderful is going to happen.”

Lucy doesn’t know it yet but TODAY IS THE DAY her babies arrive!!! She is going to FLIP out when they get here I just know it. The galvanized tub will get set up this morning in the sunny office space so she can keep an eye one them. I have a feeling she’ll be out there all day too. Ahhh Spring. It’s the best, isn’t it? So much hope, so much re-discovery. I love it.

Other things on today’s agenda:

  • Plant petunia seeds.
  • Iron the 11 yards of fabric I picked up yesterday. {I’m gonna make some curtains y’all! Giddy up}
  • Maybe do meal prep, but probably just eat random things out of the fridge.
  • Work on getting quiche and crouton recipes written up.
  • Continue work in the garden. It never ends. Isn’t that awesome?

How about YOU? Anything good planned for today? Tell us! We want to know.

Have a fantastic day everyone,

♥ Mavis & Lucy
